Broccoli-Cheese Chowder

This satisfying remake of broccoli chowder benefits from the creamy texture of cooked potatoes and smooth, tangy reduced-fat sour cream instead of getting its richness from as much as a cup each of cream and cheese. Not only is the flavor vibrant, but a single serving gives you over half of the daily recommendation for vitamin C.

READER'S COMMENT:

"I love this soup, as it was a hit with my family as well. However, instead of doing the hand mash of the veggies I did a mid-level puree of about 1/3 and I added more chicken stock, as a "chowder" was just too chunky. Overall the flavors...

Great recipe! Full of flavor, with simple ingredients. I shredded the carrot instead of dicing, and omitted the celery since we don't like it much. It was creamy without being too heavy. We served it with salad and a small heated onion roll. The perfect meal!

This is a delicious vegetarian soup recipe. Plus, it's so easy to whip up on a weeknight after work. I made it even quicker using a bag of frozen broccoli, just add for the last 10 minutes of cooking. Turned out great!
